Abstract

Volatile organic compounds such as aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons are carried through pipelines in oil and gas industry. The leakage of these compounds from pipelines mixes with ground water. The ground water contamination poses hazards to public health that limits the reuse. It’s essential to remove Volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) from contaminated water for a sustainable reuse of ground water resources. There are various methods for the effective removal of (VOC’s) from water. This article discusses about the optimized use of packed column aerator for high volume flow applications. Various design, physical parameters were used to evaluate and optimize the performance in an economical way are also discussed.
